What's up with the god damn air horn sound effect in every Rap/Hip-Hop song these days?

Can anyone explain to me the significance?

Oh, and what's up with ghetto donks?
 
It's a specific sample pulled over from Reggae and Dancehall mixing. They used to blow the horn between cuts to pump up the crowd and disguise mixes with incompatible tempos (before the days of pitch control on tables)

All the tracks you hear now are just latecomers crowding the retro table. People were tastefully using that airhorn on hip hop and breaks tracks in 1995.

Oooh, cool. Just seems like everyone has it blaring in every song now'a days.


But what about ghetto donks?
